Ant and Dec

They did a lot of work with the royal family and patrons of prince's trust

I don’t think the Obama’s, because then they would have to ask Trump and no one would want that.

That girl from Suits?

I have a feeling her invitation may get lost in his majesty's post

upinaballoon · 09/09/2022 22:19

Jackie Stewart

Dame Kiri de Kanawa

The Beckhams of course.

Victoria is probably practising her sad face as we speak, with a pout of course.

Mrsjayy · 09/09/2022 22:20

Isn't Jackie Stewart dead

Mrsjayy · 09/09/2022 22:22

Jackie Stewart is still alive I was sure he died.

See that's the thing. I say the Obamas and would love for them to be there. But it would mean inviting the Trumps, which is why I'm not putting money on it .

CaptainBarbosa · 09/09/2022 22:24

My guess is celebrities who have dames and knighthoods, then if room they will move on to OBE then MBE.

It's a state funeral so more heads of state, current global leaders sorta affair.

Barry from Eastenders.
Richard Attenborough.

David Beckham

Goes to feckin everything done up like a kipper

At least Victoria wearing black will be appropriate this time.
That couple are like poo that gets wedged in the tread of your show and that embeds itself so deeply, you can't prise it loose but it trails around with you, leaving a dubious whiff of toxicity in the air.
The Queen would definitely not want them there.

No commoners allowed then?

That’s what tonight’s service at St Paul’s was for and why it was ticketed on a first come first served basis

The funeral is a state occasion with the guest list decided by the government so it will be family, representatives from all religions, world leaders, people that were important to the Queen (eg charities, household, friends)

This is not like Diana’s so Elton will not be doing a set

MarshaMelrose · 09/09/2022 22:36

I'd be very surprised if the Obamas weren't there, apparently they got on very well and the Queen was particularly good friends with Michelle.

How many did they meet? Three times. I don't think that makes you good friends. The queen was just very nice to everybody.

BMW6 · 09/09/2022 22:50

Well as its a State Funeral I doubt any celebrities will be invited.
Heads of State, Commonwealth representatives, Politicians and Family.

Thank goodness.

Joan Collins
Rod Stewart
Cliff
Lulu
Macca
Elt
David Attenborough
Michael Caine

At least a few of those, I would’ve thought

If Lulu and her exaggerated Glaswegian accent is at the Queen’s funeral I will eat my hat (I am Glaswegian and it’s grating)

I think there will be a memorial service in the future and that is when the ‘celebs’ will be invited but would be extremely surprised if they are at a state funeral

charabang · 09/09/2022 23:04

I wonder if Sarah Ferguson will go? Did she go to Philip's?

Fullmoonagain · 09/09/2022 23:05

Hopefully not the Beckhams and their like, but people that meant something to her and their contribution to the UK e.g. with substance, not fame hungry, click bait 🙄

100problems · 09/09/2022 23:11

Ah come on OP, the "that girl from Suits" post was funny.

Nicholas Soames, the big booby.
Dame Judi, Joan, Maggie
Attenborough

Otherwise I hope it will be all the racing trainers and jockeys, and the head of the Sandringham WI, but otherwise super dignified.

I have a funny feeling she did but I could be wrong.

Not the covid restriction funeral but the memorial service a few months later.

LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet · 09/09/2022 23:14

Sarah Ferguson wasn’t at Philip’s funeral but it was a limited guest list

I imagine she will be at the Queen’s, she was her MIL after all!

Icequeen01 · 09/09/2022 23:21

underneaththeash · 09/09/2022 20:38

Hopefully none.

Totally agree!
